Booked by 2 families in Van Nuys, CA

Hi I’m Jaid! I am currently a student studying Dental Assisting with the intention of going into Pediatrics once I complete my certification! I currently work with two amazing girls 3x a week in the afternoon hours (availability is updated). I come from a family of 6, with two much younger siblings that have given me the love and experience for child care as a built-in babysitter. I have also had the privilege of babysitting for family friends, whenever I am needed. I'm known for my enthusiasm and positivity, that goes along great with kids. I love doing activities to keep them excited and involved. I believe in open communication with parents and keep them updated throughout the day. I am not afraid of late hours!!! Let me know!

James $22 per hour for 1 child

I love working with people in general, but especially with Kids! I used to work with children on the spectrum, and I experienced any and all kinds of behaviours. I have done caregiving before with kids by serving them food, cleaning, helping homework, and play! I love working with pets too and I like to clean the house. But most importantly, I love helping out to wherever I most needed.

I am new to the app. I wanted to let you know that I am a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver with hands-on experience raising and caring for children from 0 months. I have experience and understanding of feeding, diaper changes, sleep schedules, soothing techniques, developmental milestones, and infant safety. I truly love children and enjoy creating a nurturing, loving, and engaging environment where they feel safe, happy, and cared for. When your child is in my care, I will treat them with the same attention, patience, and affection that I would give my own family. I understand how hard is it to trust someone with the most important person in your life and my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I also have the support of my mother, who has many years of experience raising three children, she is a retired middle school teacher, my brothers are both engineers and one got his PDH she is available to help when needed. Together, we provide a warm, family-oriented atmosphere focused on your child's well-being. My home is also prepared for childcare, with toys and age-appropriate activities, as well as clean and safe spaces for children to play, rest, sleep, and be cared for comfortably. I am happy to take care of your child. Families can feel confident knowing that their child will be cared for in a safe, loving, and dependable environment.

“Exceptional last-minute care! Highly recommend Aria! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Aria was an absolute blessing for our family. She accepted a very last-minute request to watch my 1-year-old daughter at her home from the afternoon until 10 PM. She took amazing care of my baby girl, treating her with so much love and affection. I loved getting the regular updates and photos she sent, which kept my mind completely at ease. Aria handled dinner time, diaper changes, and bedtime smoothly and lovingly. She is reliable, communicative, and wonderful with children. 5 stars all the way!"”

Sydney $23 per hour for 1 child

My name is Sydney, and I am a recent graduate of Oregon State University with a degree in Archaeological Anthropology and a minor in Art History. I have hands-on experience caring for young children through both preschool work and babysitting, supporting children of all ages in both structured and home-based settings. In preschool environments, I assisted with daily routines, supervised play and learning activities, supported social–emotional development, and helped maintain a safe, organized classroom. As a babysitter, I have cared for children independently, managing meals, playtime, bedtime routines, and ensuring a calm, reliable presence for families. I am patient, attentive, and dependable, and I enjoy creating nurturing, engaging environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
